Hosted a bonfire for all of the students here at the MSC (I'm an RA)...

Ping-ponged with the boys...

Had class in the field. This is out standard uniform:

The 'classroom'...

Rewarded ourselves for a loooong day in the field with Mexican and margaritas!

Saw the most awesome living situation ever... this trailer is TINY and quite in need of repair... but these people own a Hummer and Corvette. Priorities! We pass this place every time we come here to do field work, and finally remembered to take pictures.

Did some serious work in the field...

Here's the whole class, and our precious sediment core that we had just extracted ;)

My kayaking buddy Shane and me :)

Adrienne's 1-year old Husky, Hopper. His eyes are so blue they look white!

I woke up at 6:20 this morning with a parched throat and a pounding headache...

I went out with the MSC staffers to the bar on the NASA base (security clearance has its perks! ;-) last night ... it was definitely a good time!

After we left the bar, we went back to Adrienne's apartment on campus and continued to get intoxicated...

Adrienne opened a beer and spilled it all over the floor...

and I drank wine out of a mason jar.

Kate (right) does not like being touched, so of course Adrienne had to hang all over her. Ha!

I loooove the faculty and staff here... I would so love to work here! I'm definitely going to start trying to get something lined up. I'm actually starting to feel really sad that I only have another week of class here! At least I get to come back once a month for research.... I'm going to miss these guys!
